THANKS JAYNE! I was there after work. I think it was around 8 or 9. It would have been great to run into you and see you again!! Hopefully next time though cause I'm definitely going back. That store is good luck for me now..lol

Wowza is right! I couldn't believe it. I just kept checking the tag over and over to make sure I wasn't losing my mind..lol..

You're so right - the journey never ends. There was a time not that long ago as a matter of fact when I was very upset because I had gone below my goal weight and I felt like I had nothing else to accomplish and that my journey was over but after this, I now know there is still so much left for me to accomplish and be proud of no matter how small a feat it may seem to some. 

Thank you very much for being so proud of me. It means so much to me to know that all of you are here to share these moments with me.

Hi Liz!!!!

Merry Christmas to me!! lol.

No, I did not expect it at all that's for sure. I figured if anything, I would attempt to try them on, they would be soooo tight I wouldn't have been able to get them past my knees but I'd have something to compare it to in a few months when I finish up with the personal trainer. Kinda like an incentive I guess. I was very surprised but very happy.

THANK YOU for seeing me as an inspiration. You have no idea how happy it makes me to know that I am able to share these moments with everyone and give you a sneak peak into what's in store for you as well as a sense of hope for the future in some cases.

We're an amazing group of people and there is no doubt in my mind that each and every last one of you are going to be successful. Thank you again!!

Hugs back at ya!

Valarie,
Thank you so much for sharing your major wow moment. Hearing your story, knowing that you are almost 6 years out and doing so well, is a great encouragement to me. It reinforces to me the need to keep setting goals and to be persistant with regular exercise. I'm thrilled for your excitment and I hope you enjoy those jeans for a long time!

Hi Chris!

Thank YOU for being here to share my wow moment with and for being excited right along with me. It means a great deal to me.

You have no idea how happy it makes me to know that my jean story gave you some encouragement. That's something I hope I am always able to do for my OH family because I don't want to see any of you EVER become discouraged or give up! You can reach any goal that you set for yourself regardless of what anyone tells you or how far out from surgery you might be and I'm proof of that ! So you just go ahead and keep setting those goals. Stay committed and you'll be checking them off one right after the next, just wait and see!

Thanks again!!
